H&R Top Break and .32 S&W Long
I just picked up from my FFL a top break H&R .32 that says on the left side of the barrel "Auto Ejecting .32 S&W CTGE" and I just put in a .32 S&W Long round nose bullet, not a wadcutter, and it fit into the cylinder.
I know that the H&R top breaks that have the cartridge on the left side of the barrel means it's a smokeless rated revolver, but does the long cylinder and the ability to load a .32 S&W Long cartridge mean it can shoot .32 S&W Long?

In a 1939 Stoegers the six shot H&Rs were listed for .32 S&W Long.

Upon further investigation, the ejector doesn't fully eject empty .32 S&W Long cases, but if I tip it so that the rims are facing down instead of up, they come out.
Not sure if this means anything, but figured I'd mention it.

It does. I would refer you to this recent thread, in which you participated, and to the thread that you started on October 16 of last year.

Ah, McShooty my man, I had forgot about that thread.
From what it looks like, I have the exact same revolver from your post, post #44 in the thread, so I guess my H&R is a .32 Long top break. Sweet.
